MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee got back onto the practice field Friday to prepare for the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, where it'll meet former FCS powerhouse Appalachian State.
In the first few days of bowl preparation, MT head coach Rick Stockstill has liked the freshness his guys have run around with.
"We were gone recruiting last week and gave them four days off," he said. "It gave them a chance to get off their legs a little bit. I think that was good for them."
The Blue Raiders (8-5) will go to the New Orleans Bowl on Saturday for the second time.
